“Perfect rural retreat”

A beautifully house in a stunning location. This was a family holiday with three generations. House was very large and decor was interesting. Comfortable seating areas where you could find peace and quiet. Hot tub large in a separate barn type building away from the elements. We unfortunately chose a poor week for weather but we made use of the lovely walks around the house and the sheltered hot tub. Bats flew around our heads at dusk and owls were definitely in the fields around us. A nature lovers dream. All had a brilliant time there, can't ignore the 2 mile pot hole track to get there but a small niggle considering. Didn't want to leave.

“Fabulous Converted Barn”

Family gathering prompted this reservation and what a fantastic find it was! Located down a remote single track lane (2.2 mls) in the Dales, just outside Settle, it was a beautiful, quiet, remote spot. Lusciously and tastefully decorated throughout and hugely well equipped with copious space for a family gathering. Homely feeling with space for separate areas when needed! Brilliant range of equipment and mod con's. Trips and long walks during the day complemented by time in the hot tub in the evenings - sheer joy. A week filled with happy memories and long views across the Dales which change with the weather. Easy and responsive contact with the administrators made every aspect a pleasure. Will be recommending to friends!!

“We have had the most fantastic time staying at the barn to celebrate a 70th birthday.”

It’s beautifully appointed, we loved the spectacular furnishings and it’s extremely comfortable. It was just what I’d hoped for and much , much more! The welcome gifts of flowers, wine, cupcakes and sweets were much appreciated. We loved the hot tub too!! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as a wonderful venue in a beautiful location.

“Gorgeous property”

I have just returned from a weekend at this property with 9 other ladies celebrating the 30th birthday of my niece and may I say what an amazing property this is, together with outstanding surroundings and views this was the most perfect location! The house was spotless and beautifully decorated with a lovely homely feel, together with the hot tub and the added luxuries I couldn’t fault it! I would recommend it to anyone!

“As we had my 94 yearold stepmother with us it would have been useful to know that the property was not useful for someone with limited mobility.”

We also were not aware of the configuration of the rooms particularly that the only room with single beds had a bedroom on its mezzanine floor.

“Truly wonderful in every way”

This barn has the wow factor as soon as you drive through the gate. The house is beautiful as are the gardens and views that surround it. We entered the property to be greeted with fresh fruit, a bottle of bubbles and a very cute cuddly dog that was ours to take.The rooms are modern, stylish and in some areas extravagant but this is exactly want we wanted, a weekend of luxury. The hot tub is an added extra and was used everyday. I would recommend this place to anyone, friends, family, young and old. You do need to get over the rough track that leads up to the house but to be honest this just caused many giggles. You can't see another property and every view is of green fields and the local farm animals. You would need to do your own shop as I doubt you would find anyone to deliver but I could be wrong, but once you arrive you really won't want to leave. Communication throughout the booking was smooth and we were given very clear instructions. We also needed to make contact during our stay and we received a text message back straight away. We are a group of friends celebrating our 40th birthdays and now want to make it an annual trip.

“Amazing weekend”

I have just returned from Bookiler Barn with a group of 11 friends to celebrate my birthday. It was absolutely amazing. The barn is immaculate and has some gorgeous furnishings. A massive lounge and dining table to accommodate us all and it's so peaceful. We had a fabulous time in the hot tub which is in the barn opposite the house and had room for those who don't want to go in to sit together. A lovely welcome pack as well. Haven't stayed anywhere as beautiful for a long time. Would definitely return. Only thing to be ready for is the long lane to get to it!

“Amazing”

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Bookilber Barn for my best friends hen do! Where do I start... as soon as we walked in we was blown away the place is incredible we couldn't believe we would be staying here for 3 nights how lucky are We! The decor and attention to detail are out of this world. I think we all stood there in amazement it was fabulous. The track down the the barn was a little rocky and a bit long but thatbwas definitely forgotten once we arrived. The house has everything you need so you really could stay there and never leave. The bedrooms are all equally as amazing and the views are breath taking. The hot tub was great fun! There is a beaubeautiful bbq area and seating area where you can have out for miles. I would definitely recommend this place for all occasions it really is a hidden gem! I have alteady enquired about returning. The barn also offer activities to come to the barn for example a chef, beautician, cocktail making class etc. It rrally is perfect. We thank the barn for making the hen weekend do special. X

“Fabulous place - leave the world behind in this beautiful remote hidden jewel.”

We had an absolutely fabulous time. If you like to be away from the crowds this is the place to go - no one for miles. Such a jewel and so glad we found this place. Great bedrooms - fabulous facilities. The home everyone wishes they could live in simple great. Lovely walks and great scenery all around . Relaxing hot tub room. You will not find a finer untouched location. Everything you need to relax and unwind.

“Absolutely brilliant!!”

As soon as we walked through the door we were really impressed by the luxurious, immaculate accommodation. First rate quality throughout the house with brilliant views out over the dales. Loved the hot tub! Emma and the team were really helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We've already booked to return next year and can't wait to go back. Can't recommend it enough!

“Amazing Barn, ideal for group get togethers!”

What an amazing place. I booked the barn for my bestfriends hen party. The barn did not disappoint. It was fabulous inside. All the detail make is all that more amazing. On entering the barn we were hit by the smell of scented candles, a bottle of sparkiling wine and a bowl of fruit. Its the little things that count. The place is stunning. The road to access the barn is a bit bumpy but just drive slowly and I guarantee the barn is worth it.

“The Barn was well furnished and very comfortable, the hot tub was an added bonus.”

My whole family thoroughly enjoyed their stay. It was a lovely setting and would like to go back.

Mr Bentley July 2014

“Bookilber Barn is a stunning combination between a classic old structure which has been exceptionally well restored, then fitted out with top of the line appliances together with grand stylish furnishings.”

All this in a remote location accessed by a rocky, bumpy two mile long gravel road. These factors combined result in a unique property that provides a wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the Yorkshire Dales. It doesn't get much better than this combination.

It is truly a stunning place, an excellent home with a real heart which made it so easy for us to relax. So much to discover, as you enter each room you are totally stunned by its beauty. I would definitely recommend Bookilber Barn for a relaxing holiday with beautiful views and space for large parties to enjoy. We will certainly be visiting again.

About the location

SETTLE

Malham 6 miles; Skipton 17 miles; Kendal 25 miles.

The bustling market town of Settle lies at the south west rim of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, nestled beside the largest outcrop of limestone in Britain - a region of scars, cliffs, caves and potholes - amongst some of the most picturesque scenery in North Yorkshire. Tuesday is market day in Settle, when the square is filled with stalls offering a wide variety of crafts and goods. The market place is surrounded by local businesses, the centre being dominated by The Shambles, an historic three storey building with shops on two levels and houses above, and the Town Hall. There is a good selection of restaurants and pubs and a public swimming pool. The Victoria Hall has entertainment and other activities such as folk nights throughout the year. The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway crosses some of the most beautiful and inspiring upland scenery in the country. Natural attractions such as Malham Cove and Gordale Scar are within easy reach, as are the nearby Dales towns of Skipton and Malham. Settle is in the midst of excellent walking country and is a good base for touring the Dales, the Lake District and the Forest of Bowland.
